The Rhododendron WE, THE MEMBERS OF THE RHODODENDRON STAFF, PRE- SENT TO THE STUDENT BODY AND THE PUBLIC THIS, THE FOURTH ANNUAL ISSUE OF OUR SCHOOL ANNUAL. THE STAFF HAS ATTEMPTED TO SHOW FORTH THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SCHOOL ALONG ITS VARIOUS LINES. MAY THIS BOOK BRING BACK TO THE MINDS OF THE READERS SOME OF THE PLEASANT MEMORIES OF THE DAYS SPENT WITH FELLOW STUDENTS AND EVER KIND AND HELP- FUL INSTRUCTORS IN THE ANACORTES HIGH SCHOOL. Editorial Foreword 3) been X glancing back over your four years In the Anacortes High School, you should each ask these questions: “What am I fitted to do?” ‘‘Has my outlook upon the world been broadened, and have my sympathies deepened ?” The vast fund of information you have gained should mean much to you. hut your thinking power should he a far greater asset. The small habits you have chosen and followed, of studying your lessons, and making yourself responsible for each small task assigned you will open the path to success, hut most important of all, will make you an independent citizen and a better and truer man. The power you have gained by daily wrestling with quadratic equation should make it possible to puncture quickly the professional promoter’s ] et scheme or the seamy side of a salesman’s argu- ment. The facts and mental power you have gained in the study of ancient Rome should enable you to find the flaws in the political cure-alls peddled al out as a panacea for all national ills or to aid you in perceiving how distinctly history repeats itself when you read and enjoy the evening paper. The knowledge of chemical reactions gained through the knotty problems of the laboratory should make you a better cook or prepare your mind for fur- ther research in that large field of science. The thinking power generated by your high school course, rather than the facts learned, should enable the high school student to outrun others in the attainments of life. This thinking power should Ik a charged storage battery, ready to he tapped for any purpose later in life when the acting power is a necessity. The time and effort you have spent in building up your reservoirs of thought and power should pay great dividends com- pounded at frequent intervals in later life. You future now lies before you. If you fail to grasp your opportuni- ties. waiting ten years from now will Ik of no avail. Regrets for neglected opportunities do not pay dividends either in a national hank or the human character. You should discover yourself, your powers, your possibilities, and your proper ambition. The supreme test is at hand. Meet it; conquer, and success will he yours at every turn.
